You will only know where rock bottom is once you’ve begun your ascent.
Georgia Tech came into this season riding high off an 11 win campaign that included wins against all major rivals and an Orange Bowl Trophy. While there was some serious attrition with three seniors being drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft and another four getting looks from professional teams, it seemed like Paul Johnson was finally settling in with classes of purely his recruits.
Coach Johnson’s only two nine-win seasons before 2014 came in 2008 and 2009 with a roster of players recruited by his predecessor, leading many to believe Tech wouldn’t be able to bring in enough talent to be nationally relevant in a spread/triple option offense.
